CSquared, is a pan-African broadband infrastructure company today welcomed Jackie Ochola in a LinkedIn statement and said;
“Congratulations to Jackie Ochola on your new role at CSquared (a spin-off from Google). Excited to see you succeed in leading the very critical work CSquared is doing, of building broadband infrastructure in Uganda. They are extremely lucky to have you on the team!“
Jackie Ochola will lead operations in Uganda at CSquared. The company was launched to bring faster, more reliable Internet to the people and places that need it. They first built a metro fiber network in the city of Kampala, Uganda under the Google Fiber umbrella, a dense urban center that was limited to pre-broadband speeds. Since then, they have expanded CSquared to Ghana, where they expect to build over 1,000 kilometers of fiber in Accra, Tema and Kumasi.
In Uganda, they also offer wholesale last-mile Wi-Fi access. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can leverage our network to bring high-quality Wi-Fi to homeowners, small businesses, and mobile users on-the-go. We continue to explore opportunities for expanding CSquared Wi-Fi networks to future markets.
Jackie Ochola will be in charge of managing CSquared’s ISPs and MNOs to provide high-quality broadband at lower costs through shared infrastructure such as metro fiber and Wi-Fi networks. The company has a shared infrastructure model which means they work alongside their customers, building networks they can leverage to provide better services to end-users.
